Dario’s Painting paints houses in Collierville, with Dario on every job and a free written estimate first. Know three things: most homes here date from the 1990s and 2000s, the Historic District has its own rule for unpainted brick, and your neighborhood association may set colors of its own. Collierville sits about 23 miles southeast of downtown Memphis, inside our regular service area, and estimate visits are on weekdays from 11:30 to 1:30 and on Saturdays from 7am to 6pm.
Most Collierville houses date from the 1990s and 2000s.
The Census Bureau’s 2020–2024 estimates put the median Collierville home at 1998. About 55% of the town’s homes (10,495 of 19,054) were built from 1990 to 2009, about 18% since 2010, and about 11% before 1980.
- Built 1990–2009. These houses are 17 to 36 years old, and their paint and caulk have had a long run of Memphis sun and humidity. South and west walls take the hardest sun.
- Built before 1980. Lead-based paint was banned for home use in 1978, so tell Dario the year and ask about lead-safe work at the walkthrough. Our questions to ask a painter cover it.
- Near the Town Square. The town’s guidelines describe older houses in the Historic District that include small bungalows and large foursquares, many clad in wood siding, on lots with large old trees. Loose paint is scraped and bare wood primed, and shaded walls are washed for mildew first.
Which approvals apply before you repaint.
Historic District. The town’s H-1 Historic District covers the Town Square and the areas around it. Its guidelines say a Certificate of Appropriateness, the Historic District Commission’s approval, is not required for routine maintenance, minor repairs or “paint colors for wood and painted (previously painted) masonry.” It is required to paint an unpainted masonry building that can be seen from the street. Stucco counts as masonry, and the guidelines call painting brick inappropriate unless it is mismatched or too deteriorated to withstand weather. Not sure your address is inside? Call the Planning Division at (901) 457-2360 before the first coat. A certificate starts with a meeting with staff and goes to the Commission, which meets monthly.
Outside the district. The town’s Design Review Commission reviews exterior plans for every use except single-family detached homes, so the approval that matters is your neighborhood’s, if it has one. The town’s voluntary registry lists more than 80 homeowners associations and neighborhoods but not their rules, which differ. Halle Plantation’s published guidelines, for one, require committee approval for paint colors on brick or stucco and for trim or siding color changes, but not for minor repairs and maintenance in the same materials and colors. Get any approval in writing before the start day.
Permits. Painting does not need a building permit. The town’s Building and Codes FAQ lists finish work such as painting among the work that is exempt.
Painting services in Collierville.
With most houses here built in the 1990s and 2000s, the work that usually fits is a first or second exterior repaint, fresh trim and caulk on sun-worn south and west sides, and interior repaints. Near the Square, wood siding needs scraping and priming, and painting never-painted brick needs Historic District approval first.

Usually within a few days, on a weekday between 11:30 and 1:30 or a Saturday between 7am and 6pm. He measures, checks the surfaces, and flags anything that costs more later if it is skipped now.

Do I need Historic District approval to repaint my house in Collierville?
Not for a new color on wood or on masonry that is already painted, or for routine maintenance. The town’s guidelines do require a Certificate of Appropriateness to paint an unpainted masonry building that can be seen from the street.
Can I paint my brick house in Collierville?
Outside the Historic District the town’s design review skips single-family detached homes, though your association may have a say. Inside it, brick that has never been painted needs a certificate if it can be seen from the street, and the guidelines discourage painting it. Painted brick is hard to go back from, so talk it through at the visit.
Do I need a building permit to paint a house in Collierville?
No. The town’s Building and Codes FAQ lists finish work such as painting among the work exempt from a building permit. Questions go to the Building and Codes Division at (901) 457-2310.
My house was built in the 1990s. Is it due for a repaint?
That depends on the surfaces, not only the year. The median Collierville home is about 28 years old; Dario checks for cracks, stains, loose paint and damage at the walkthrough, and how often to repaint lists the signs.
